chapter 3~let the games begin

Marcus pov//

Something seemed a little off with Em. I mean I know she isn't feeling well but that isn't it. She acts different around us, especially Martinus and whenever he brings up Jennie she kind of spaces out.

I don't know I can't put a finger on it but for example I just asked Martinus about her and Em kind of stayed silent and is walking behind us. Hm.

We arrived at the soccer field and we got a spot on the bleechers. A few seconds later Jennie came over towards us and sat next to Martinus. I could see it in Em's eyes that she didn't like Jennie, but was being nice for Martinus' sake.

The whistle was blown and the game started. I'm so excited to watch Cece. She is actually amazing at football and we always have fun showing each other tricks. I watched her and nobody else. She stood out to me. Her determination to win was my favorite thing about her, she was so tough and a leader. My type of girl for sure.

Jennie-"Wow Cece is amazing!"

Marcus-"Yes, the best one in my opinion."

Martinus-"You think everything about her is amazing."

Emilie-"That's so true."

Marcus-"Don't know what your taking about."

I had my eyes glued on that soccer field.

Emilie-"I'm gonna get some water does anyone want anything?"

Marcus-"No thanks!"

Jennie-"No I'm okay."

Martinus was spaced out staring at Jennie. Em waved her hand in his face.

Martinus-"S-sorry. No I'm fine."

I could see the annoyed look on her face because he was staring at Jennie. Does Em like him? No way she would have told me. Well actually she never talks about who she likes. I guess I will find out tonight.

I watched Em go and her expression changed rather quickly. She seemed sad and like she didn't want to be here, but I know she wanted to support Cece.

It was half time now and we all got up to go get something to eat. At every game they have burgers and food for the students and players.

Martinus-"Jennie what do you want I'll get you your food."

Jennie-"That's sweet you don't have to."

Martinus-"But I want to."

Jennie-"Just a cheeseburger."

Martinus-"Me too."

Marcus-"Yea that sounds good. Em do you want something?"

Emilie-"No, I lost my appetite."

She said that and glared directly at Jennie, but she was too focused on Martinus and Martinus was too focused on her to notice.

Marcus-"Em we are kind of third wheeling, let's go sit back down."

She followed me and we sat back down. I looked at her.

Marcus-"What's wrong?"

Emilie-"Nothing I'm just still not feeling well that's all."

She smiled but I know it was fake.

Marcus-"Em I have known you since you were born, we were in the playpen together, I can tell when something is bothering you. Is it Martinus?"

She looked at me like I just accused her of murder.

Emilie-"No of course not! I'm happy for him, just like I would be happy for you if you were dating someone. Perhaps Cece."

She bumped my shoulder and laughed.
